Guben, DE · 2017–present · active
Antimensch is a black and thrash metal band from Guben, Germany, established in 2013 as the successor to the long-running project Schleisse Stankend Gliud, featuring gref grf on vocals, evil on guitar, neosathan on drums, and dschonsen on bass. Their 2017 album Sei Gott delivers seven original tracks of anti-religious, provocative metal alongside covers of Mayhem, Slayer, Twisted Sister, and Darkthrone, released in limited physical editions of two hundred CDs and one hundred eleven hand-numbered vinyl copies.
Beverwijk, NL · 2022–present · active
Antinomus has evolved from black metal into industrial and ambient territory from Beverwijk in North Holland since 2022. Their antinomian-derived name — suggesting opposition to moral law — drives compositions that defy genre boundaries.
Oulu, FI · 2010–present · active
Antipope has evolved from progressive black metal origins into a genre-defying force from Oulu, incorporating industrial, gothic, doom, and heavy metal influences across seven albums including "Desert" and "Apostle of Infinite Joy." Built on foundations of 1980s heavy metal and 1990s black metal, they've become one of northern Finland's most adventurous and unpredictable bands.
IT · 2022–present · active
Antiquarium channels raw black metal and noise from an undisclosed Italian location since 2022. Their museum-derived name — a place where ancient artifacts are displayed — contrasts with the deliberately primitive, lo-fi quality of their sonic output.
Barcelona, ES · 2019–present · active
Antiquary operates at the dark intersection of black and death metal in Barcelona, crafting funereal extremity since 2019. Their music evokes the weight of ancient burial rites, with a sound as oppressive as the Catalan summer heat.
Cesena, IT · 2011–present · active
Antiquus Infestus merges black and death metal from Cesena in Emilia-Romagna since 2011. Their Latin name meaning 'ancient enemy' drives over a decade of dual-genre hostility from the birthplace of Pope Pius VI.
Almada, PT · 2002–present · active
Antiquus Scriptum has channeled black metal and ambient from Almada across the Tagus from Lisbon since 2002. Over two decades, this 'ancient scripture' project has produced a prolific body of Portuguese black metal and atmospheric works.
Antwerp, BE · 2005–present · active
please update this band
Saint Petersburg, RU · 2017–present · active
Antisacrum practices black metal from Saint Petersburg since 2017. Their anti-sacred name drives compositions of deliberate desecration from the city of the Hermitage and the Winter Palace.
